Hayden Panettiere recruits Christina Aguilera for Lip Sync Battle

Actress Hayden Panettiere has returned to the small screen after battling post-partum depression with the help of another celebrity mum.

The former Heroes star recently dressed up as Christina Aguilera and tackled Patti LaBelle's Lady Marmalade hit for an episode of variety show Lip Sync Battle - and the Genie in a Bottle singer was on hand to lend her support.

Aguilera appeared seated on a throne as the actress closed out her voiceless karaoke performance of the pop superstar's version of the tune, which she recorded with Pink, Lil' Kim and Mya for the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack.

Hayden's Lip Sync Battle episode will air in on Thursday (11Jan16).

The actress isn't the only celebrity Lip Sync Battle guest to receive a little help from a superstar - Channing Tatum was recently joined by Beyonce herself as he tackled her hit song Run The World (Girls).
